VaderChick Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Overrated band- Fall Out Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Oh there are plenty, in my sincere opinion. Some examples being Linkin Park, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Evanescence, Green Day, U2 and so on. In general, any band that tries to fuse two genres, publicize itself too much, be American (no offence, my yankee buddies), be overstylish (does not apply to Black Metal) and so on gets included in this list.

Davinq Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I suppose here would not be the place to defend such bands listed as MCR? :/ Right, I suppose I'd better start bashing something... Oh Snow Patrol is lame it's soooo repetitive and unoriginal icky icky icky. SP SUX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davinq Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 What I don't understand is why people claim that x band is overrated, but don't explain why. I understand that people claim FOB is overrated because the guys are practically media whores, but that doesn't have anything against their music, which IMO is pretty decent. For the most part I think it's mostly those haters who instinctively refuse to jump the bandwagon that create all this overrating junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaderChick Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have nothing against FOB's music, I actually have one of their songs on my mp3. And they aren't that bad, its just everyone raves about them as if they are the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 What I don't understand is why people claim that x band is overrated, but don't explain why. I believe the answer would be, that people have a notion that a certain band is making more publicity or being more popular than it deserves, in the individual's opinion. I, for example, hate Hip-Hop and Rap very strongly. Seeing nothing but the above on Music Video channels, I am tempted to say that Hip-Hop/Rap is overrated, because it's not good (IMO) and it is being shown way too much in comparison to Metal.

Its all you ever hear these days, everyone has it as thier ringtones. I hate looking at peoples mp3s or I-Pods, and its full of 50Cent, Tupac, Chingy etc; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Personally, I would never say U2 is overrated. However, I personally believe that Fallout Boy, MCR, and Hawthorne Heights are all very overrated, as are most bands of that genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 While I enjoy their one song (Over My Head), I have to say that "The Fray" is waaaay overrated. They are just really boring and not unique at all. I mean, besides that song...all their music is pretty lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jimmy Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Evanescence, Green Day, U2 Okay, **** you. Lol joke. As for Fall Out Boy.... "In Communist Russia, cock sucks Fall Out Boy!" They are intensely overrated. Why? Because their music is very, very mediocre. They get a lot of publicity/attention despite being incredibly ordinary. Have a listen to their music, and they're not doing anything special at all. Nothing I haven't heard before anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 FoB (How much attention do they want? And they are not the next big things) MCR (They sing about the lamest stuff) 50cent (Lame melody's, lame rhymes and lame in general) Rap is easily the most overrated genre, there are only a few good songs and even fewer artists, the best being John Cena. Punk like MCR is far too overrated. Some people have said U2 overrated, I don't think many people agree with that comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaderChick Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Ok, firstly, MCR do not sing about nothing. Secondly, they are not a punk band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Ok, firstly, MCR do not sing about nothing. Secondly, they are not a punk band. Well, whatever. They sound punk to me, or maybe emo. And I never said they sing about nothing, I said they sing about the lamest stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumaSF, would you care to enlighten us on exactly what they -do- sing about? Now, now children, I know you're all raising your hands for this one, but I want Akuma to answer it...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Music is essentially based on your opinions. If there is anybody who wants to listen the music of a specific genre and if there is demand for it, the music will be created. And generally, the music of a specific culture may be based on the music they listen to. For instance, Rap and Hip-Hop is very popular amongst Afro-Americans. I personally don't really like many of those new modern bands that are out there. And I used to listen to Rap/Hip-Hop often, not as much as I usually do. I personally don't think it is overrated. Though, there are some artists who are making Rap look like a joke. *cough* John Cena *cough* And shows like The (white) Rapper's Show. Though, answering your question, I think bands like Fallout Boy & My Chemical Romance, bands like that are overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Tough question, but I guess My Chemical Romance is pretty overrated. I can't think of any other bands at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 While I enjoy their one song (Over My Head), I have to say that "The Fray" is waaaay overrated. They are just really boring and not unique at all. I mean, besides that song...all their music is pretty lame. You, my friend, have just made yourself an enemy. -_- And the only reason most people think that is because there are four tracks on the CD that are nothing but piano solos w/ Slade singing. The rest though, is very unique, so I beg to differ. One of the biggest differences between The Fray and most mainstream rock is its heavy use of the piano, which IMO creates for a very dramatic, almost cinematic sound.

urluckyday Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 No...I agree that the addition of the piano makes it somewhat unique, but the songs themselves are just sooo repetitive and predictable...i feel like ive heard it 1000 times b4.
